Suspect in attempted Collier abduction sought

COLLIER COUNTY: The Collier County Sheriff's Office is investigating a report of an attempted child abduction in East Naples.

A 17-year-old girl told detectives she was walking on Donna Street near North Road around 11:40 a.m. Thursday when a mid-1990s gold Chevrolet Camaro with a T-top and black trim on the sides of the doors pulled up next to her.

Detectives say the man in the vehicle asked the girl in Spanish to get into the car.

He followed her for around five minutes. The girl says she kept walking and was able to get to safety.

That is when Collier County deputies were called.

Detectives said the man is described as Hispanic, with a round face. He may have a piercing on his right ear.

Anyone with information on the man is asked to call the Collier County Sheriff's Office at 252-9300, or Crime Stoppers at 1.800.780.TIPS.
